- 6 x smoke grenades

There I answered your questions, keep in mind this was on ex. On Ops (mission needs dictate) it differs. Now enough of answering generalized questions like yours.
You want to know what you will carry as a grunt? WHATEVER YOUR TOLD TO by Warrant Officers like me.
Note when I run a BMQ (L) or DP1 Infantry, I love sorting out attitude cases, its almost like a sport to us old infantry dogs. Except its very one sided.
